The system does it automatically and has since at least Vista, probably XP. Furthermore, there's no benefit (and in fact active harm) to defragging an SSD.

- nix23 5y agoHe talks about HD's, on Windows 10 you cant de-frag ssd's just optimize, aka trim. But de-frag HD's is often needed on windows in certain work scenarios.
- Arainach 5y agoWindows 10, just like Windows 8 and 7, automatically defragments spinning drives once a week. You never need to manually do it.
- nix23 5y agoAnd? Maybe it's needed to be more often or not at all. However in Windows 10 you cannot defrag (with internal tools) SSD's like you wrote.
- Arainach 5y agoI never said you could. I said that you didn't need to defrag manually, and that with the rise of SSDs doing so would be actively harmful.
